Wow interest really spiked it seems.
Sounds good! I'll be doing up an Explorer Fringer. May be a weirdo and just be a normal human. Maybe. Or maybe...another g*+%$+n Rodian. :D

No problem. My brain derps all the time when I look at other characters and wonder about the same things. And you better believe interest has spiked. Edge of the Empire is a pretty cool system; more so when it's not on a forum due to dice rolling. But I saw a dice roller somewhere online...but yeah, space opera is a pretty cool thing.
There´s a dice roller for google hangout. Had an online live game there before, was pretty cool and fun.
There are a few good dice systems out there. It's unfortunate that Edge of the Empire's is a bit weird with conversions (all because Fantasy Flight love selling extra things) but it should be fine for our purposes. The chart is simple enough.
For those unfamiliar with the conversion, it looks like This.
Real-time games on Hangouts are Slack are pretty cool, I played in a couple of Slack games for Monsterhearts and Dungeon World, but they definitely require a different style of play.

Happy Life Day everyone!
Here is Tiberius "Tibs" Carn and here is his character sheet for your review! He is set up to be a co-pilot, have some useful information, all that jazz.
Here is my 10 Minute Backstory as well!
1) Tibs is the son of a smuggler with Rebel Alliance ties that was killed during a raid on a meeting by Officer Nadia Vrei. She was burned by a blaster shot from Tibs when trying to apprehend him.
2) He is helpful and cooperative, preferring to use social skills before violence. Whenever able, he tries to stun his enemies than kill them. When push comes to shove or when trying to defend a friend, he doesn’t shy away from violence.
3) He has travelled quite a bit as a young boy upon a smuggler’s vessel and is decently known through most of the “usual” places for their kind to gather. Most, out of respect to his father or out of liking of the young man, do not alert the Imperials or try to collect his bounty.
4) Most of his father’s crew was captured by the Imperials and, if he has the chance to save them, he will try. He will also go far and beyond to save someone from the Imperial’s clutches, even if they’re a rival of the group.
5) Despite his sober and tragic beginnings as a man on his own, Tiberius is excited for the future. He may bite off more than he can chew or make some naïve decisions occasionally on behalf of the crew. However, he’ll learn from them and never try to push his mistakes off on someone else.
1) I would like to see the Rebel Alliance try and reach out towards Tiberius and try to recruit him and the crew into their missions. This will be a bit tense since he does partly blame them for having the mole that led to his father being killed.
2) It would be great to have Office Vrei be a foil occasionally for the group. She is dedicated on ruining Tibs and will happily target those that take him onto their ships and refuse to give him up.
1) Tiberius was there when the crew of the Millenium Falcon arrived. It was here that he heard the tale of the Star Prison escape and learned not just the details, but the other ways that Han Solo would do it now since they remodeled it.
2) Tibs is right that there was a mole but he is wrong about what side it was. Narom Nemur, the Bith co-pilot, was the one who ratted out the meeting for the Imperials.
[spoiler=Relationships]
1) Xigg Dac, the former gunner/bodyguard of Tib’s father’s ship, is a friend and comrade of the young human. He has almost a strict uncle mindset and tests the young man’s combat skills whenever they meet. More often than not, Tibs leaves with a smile on his newly bruised face. Xigg is an excellent combatant and will be more than willing to be fire support if his “nephew” needs it.
2) Arruna Komad was a flash in the pan lover of Tib’s when his father’s ship was stationed at Nar Shadaa. The young man was completely enamored by her and, when she was being hassled by Black Sun criminals, he stood up for her. Their relationship started while she was taking care of his battered frame. They went their separate ways and Tibs still thinks of her fondly from time to time. He has no idea if she does the same. If they should meet again, Arruna has been traveling the galaxy as a dancer and has connections and knowledge that Tibs would normally never be able to get his hands on.
3) Korin Benwoo is a slicer that Tibs met on a job before he joined this current crew. The two of them had gotten along but Korin was quite the greedy fellow. He had stashed away stolen credits and even offered to share them with Tibs as a friend. Tibs’ strange sense of smuggling honor, however, led him to telling the crew about the hoarded money. This led to more of Korin’s stolen property to be found and him being kicked from the crew. Korin is an excellent slicer but hates Tibs with a passion. If he could make it up to him, Tibs would have quite the slicer on his side.
1) The strongest memories that Tibs has is of being on his father’s ship, Black Autumn, and exploring all the hidden nooks and crannies.
2) The memory of the Imperial ambush has burned itself into Tibs’ mind and he could never, ever forget watching his father pass away in his arms.
3) Tibs remembers the first time that he jumped on the ship. The calculations to set for astrogation, that lurch within the ship as it jumped into hyperdrive. Nothing feels better than being on the move and on the ship.
This is a clear dot from me btw.
Still working on my submission though.
Would like to introduce Qual Cass. The character is finished but I have not been able to figure out how you guys get Oggdude's character Generator to spit out a PDF.
He is a Selkath Counselor healer.... Going for that one single possible force sensitive spot. His primary roll will be the ships medic but he'll be pretty smart and in a pinch can get away with piloting the ship, playing with a computer, or doing repairs.
He isn't going to be particularly skilled at the force and doesn't even have any force powers yet. The only overt force power he's going to get is healing Trance. He will get the enhance power so that he can become a better pilot and a little more agile... but still not as good at those things as non-force users that would be dedicated to those kinds of things. At some point he may also travel the Consular sage tree just to get all the knowledge specializations.
Qual tried to live on the streets but after two weeks he was weak and lost in the labyrinth that is the Cpital city of coruscant. Maybe it was luck, or Fate or the Force but something brought him to a doorway where he fell to the ground and started crying. He hadn't eaten in days, his skin was dry and starting to crack, and he didn't even know how to find his way back to the Jedi if he had wanted to .
This was the state that a Mon Calamari doctor by the name of Alten Brace found the young Selkath. He took Qual in, nursed him back to health and recognizing the aptitudes of the youngling, Alten began to train Brace as a medical healer and surgeon.
For twenty years he worked as the assistant of the doctor till a Rodian came into the clinic with a blaster burn on one arm and a blaster still held in the other. He demanded free treatment, and seeing as he was holding a weapon Qual's mentor and caretaker tended the wound as best he could. The Rodian left and not wanting anyone to know he had been there he Shot both Qual, and his mentor Alten. Leaving them both for dead the Rodian ran off into the night.
Hours later Qual awoke in the dark his side feeling like it was on fire. He tended to his own wound but when he went to check on Alten the older Mon Calamari had not had the Stamina to survive the wound... Feeling like there was nothing left for him on Coruscant Qual packed up what he could and sold what he could from the clinic and began to search for the Rodian that had killed his only friend.
Luckily for him the Rodian had a bounty out on him... and there were crumbs left for Qual to follow.
The character is finished but I have not been able to figure out how you guys get Oggdude's character Generator to spit out a PDF.
If you press Print, you should be able to do a "Print to PDF".
So much interest and excitement for this. I'll admit surprise, as I wasn't sure this would be so popular.
I realized that I didn't update his character sheet for the added credits and experience points, so I downloaded Oggdude's character generator and remade him.
Here is Tiberius Carn newly updated and ready. Here are his background stuff, just to keep things organized.
1) Tibs is the son of a smuggler with Rebel Alliance ties that was killed during a raid on a meeting by Officer Nadia Vrei. She was burned by a blaster shot from Tibs when trying to apprehend him.
2) He is helpful and cooperative, preferring to use social skills before violence. Whenever able, he tries to stun his enemies than kill them. When push comes to shove or when trying to defend a friend, he doesn’t shy away from violence.
3) He has travelled quite a bit as a young boy upon a smuggler’s vessel and is decently known through most of the “usual” places for their kind to gather. Most, out of respect to his father or out of liking of the young man, do not alert the Imperials or try to collect his bounty.
4) Most of his father’s crew was captured by the Imperials and, if he has the chance to save them, he will try. He will also go far and beyond to save someone from the Imperial’s clutches, even if they’re a rival of the group.
5) Despite his sober and tragic beginnings as a man on his own, Tiberius is excited for the future. He may bite off more than he can chew or make some naïve decisions occasionally on behalf of the crew. However, he’ll learn from them and never try to push his mistakes off on someone else.
Two Goals
1) I would like to see the Rebel Alliance try and reach out towards Tiberius and try to recruit him and the crew into their missions. This will be a bit tense since he does partly blame them for having the mole that led to his father being killed.
2) It would be great to have Office Vrei be a foil occasionally for the group. She is dedicated on ruining Tibs and will happily target those that take him onto their ships and refuse to give him up.
Secrets
1) Tiberius was there when the crew of the Millenium Falcon arrived. It was here that he heard the tale of the Star Prison escape and learned not just the details, but the other ways that Han Solo would do it now since they remodeled it.
2) Tibs is right that there was a mole but he is wrong about what side it was. Narom Nemur, the Bith co-pilot, was the one who ratted out the meeting for the Imperials.
Relationships
1) Xigg Dac, the former gunner/bodyguard of Tib’s father’s ship, is a friend and comrade of the young human.

Okay finally figured out the user error.
This is the first Star Wars RPG character I've made in this system. Please let me know if their is something you would like me to think more about or that doesn't seem right.
@Qual Cass - Looks good to me
@WarforgedMan - Tiberius looks good, but I want to make sure you're aware (since there are some new players here) that you cannot raise Attributes after character creation. Not saying that having only one Attribute above 2 is a Bad thing, and certainly I'm the last person to say "Hey you should optimise more", just making sure you know so it doesn't potentially bite you later!
This is a clear dot from me btw.
Still working on my submission though.
Don't worry, you've still got plenty of time!
Indeed! There is only the Dedication talent which is usually at the end of the talent trees. My envisioning of him, as of right now, is a very jack-of-all-trades kind of character. I may adjust him more once a final selection is made and if he ends up in that selection.
I may mess with more before then but I'm not sure what I'd want to trade off if I did. Taking 30 points away from stuff is quite the refund of stuff.
In the end, you're more a jack-of-all-trades by bumping your attributes than your skills with your initial XP, but of course the decision is yours.
It is more that his skills assist others, I think, was what I was going with.
I guess I can see people's reasonings though, I'm pretty bored so I guess I'll make a few variations and see what I like best. -_-
I also take it that the +20xp and racexp combined cant be spent on ability stats?
I don't know what you mean by "racexp" but the +20 XP we obtained from being a bit seasoned should not go into ability stats.
The process should be like you made a starting character. Stop. Then added on 20 XP to "level up".
Just checking. I did mine correctly then. So no worries
Nebten is correct.
Also re: Ability Scores. Since it's only a couple of modules it's probably not a big deal. For what it's worth, though, you'll be getting a bunch of XP between the two modules (like, ~150) so don't worry if you can't afford everything quite yet. Go with what seems like it'll be fun to play, and you can always add more to it after!
So we can add the 20xp to ability generation?
No, hence I said Nebten is correct. The 20 XP is for being "Seasoned", it comes after character creation, so you cannot use it on Ability Scores.
Okay. Just miss understood your reply. =^^=
Looks like things are winding down here. Whatta say we set closing time for this Saturday so that we can start the New Year with a bang? Kinda silly to keep recruitment going for another week to fill 1 or 2 slots.
I´m still working on mine and will need some more time.
Actually, there's at least 1 entry for every role Yoricks was looking to have filled, so if things wrapped up early, every role could be filled. However, there are 8 people who have expressed dots who may not have had time to finish their character yet, what with the holidays and all. Saturday may be too soon for them to be able to finish if they've traveled a long way to see family and whatnot. If people reasonably expected to have until January 6 to finish their character before expressing interest, they should have the time to do so.
However, closing submission to new interest early would be completely different, giving those who have not yet finished until the original deadline to finish their characters. I see no issue with that.
EDIT: The "8 expressing interest" includes those mentioned in Yoricks post above minus WarforgedMan, who finished his, and includes Hayato Ken, who was not in that list.
It's Chess here. I'm still working on my submission, but this should be the profile I plan to use. :) Still closing up some last details and reading on the system. The background is on the sheet.

Yeah, there's a strong chance that I'll wait until the 6th. I definitely understand the excitement and not wanting recruitment to lag, but I also chose a date after the holidays intentionally. I'd hate to move it up without someone being aware of it. It's possible that I'll lock down new dots, but for all I know, someone's got a submission nearly finished and also thinks they still have time.
In addition to the thread itself, there have also been a few people private messaging me, so don't assume that everyone here who dotted and then said nothing, or who haven't dotted yet, has dropped off!
Really, the earliest I'd want to close it anyway because of holiday stuff would be on Wednesday the 4th, so that's not really much of a gain. I'd rather stick with the 6th and give everyone ample time to prepare.
Going to dot in now,... Been watching the thread and thinking of ideas but haven't used the system before so am trying to get up to speed. Not sure of character yet but have a few thoughts...
Will probably be submitting a mechanic or pilot type.
See? Like that. :P
@Hymenopterix - Feel free to shoot me a PM with questions!
Still working on my character, I've just been very busy with the holidays. I've just got to finish off his backstory and get him posted under an alias.
Alrighty, I did a little changing to Tiberius's stats and increased his attributes. Truthfully, I've only played a few games of Edge of the Empire and so I haven't really seen what is most efficient and best choices for spending one's points.
Here is (hopefully) the last version of Tibs is here
Thanks for helping me folks, I'm super excited for this game.
Here is the crunch for Aralli K'Shein, a Twi'lek Technician (Modder). I haven't done the important bit yet (i.e., background etc... general fluff) but would be grateful if someone'd have a look and see if I've done anything wrong/stupid so far. (I know her $$$ is wrong - just can't figure out how to change it in the program. Shoulf be 200cr.).
Cheers all
Here is Kip84's Submission
Party position: Face
Thion was a young, up and coming senator from Corellia. When the senate was dissolved he was shocked, but when he heard about what happened to Alderaan he was absolutely horrified. He began to spread dissent on Corellia and somehow wound up involved in a terrorist group, planning an attack on one of the tie fighter shipyards above his planet.
The attack didn't get far however. As the group were loading explosives into their space transport, Imperial Stormtroopers raided the landing bay. With the blaster fire flying this way and that Thion found himself diving behind some crates, luckily next to a maintenance hatch in the landing bay wall. He wasted no time but broke it open and made his escape, stowing away on another ship he managed to escape.
Now he knocks about on the Outer Rim laying low, while trying to make ends meet. He's trying to make contacts, help the weak and oppressed and quietly tries to rally support for the Rebellion.

@Hymenopterix - In the "Description" tab of the character generator, there is the "Award" button directly underneath the picture. Click that and give yourself the extra starting experience points and the extra starting cash. Otherwise, things look good though you may want a little blaster pistol or something, just in case? Up to you, honestly.
@Theon: Lookss good to me!
@Hymenopterix: You should be able to adjust cash/XP on the Description pane as WarforgedMan described.

HERE is an updated version of Aralli with a few changes and some additional details. Her history is spoilered below. (Thanks for the help!)
Sold in to 'indentured servitude' when only six years old, Aralli passed through a number of owners before ending up with Bisu Hutt of the Kajidier clan. Like many other Twi'lek slave girls, Aralli began by working as a serving girl in one of Bisu's casinos, beginning the training that would see her, one day, become a high value dancer and prostitute. Aralli's future value was much reduced, however, when one of the customers, a bad-tempered Trandoshan, hurled a boiling cup of chav at her. Although the Trandoshan himself was made to pay Bisu as recompense, Aralli was badly scarred, rendering her unfit for the work that was to have been her fate. Here Aralli's training changed. No longer a valued slave, her living conditions became more harsh as she was removed from the casino and given simple menial tasks in a recycling factory, spending her nights in cramped cold slave quarters without the lusturies afforded more valuable slaves. It was here, however, that Aralli discovered a gift for mechanics, receiving some instruction from a repair droid LE-K42, and teaching more to herself over the following few years.
At the age of 17, Aralli was sold as part of a consignment of less-valuable slaves and was transferred, with others, to the slave markets on Rorack 4 to be sold on. Aralli managed to reprogram a surveillance droid guarding the slaves, re-designating it QT-3P14, allowing her to slip from her cell and to bring down the whole slave market's security system. Now on the run, Aralli hid out in the seedier area of the planet's space-dock, eventually hiding herself aboard a light freighter. Although discovered, Aralli managed to convince the ship's captain, Jes Herwethe, not to turn her in. The young Twi'lek slowly made her way to the outer rim, always on the run from the bounty placed on her by the powerful Hutt cartels.
And now I have the PDF character sheet version of Zagulo. That editor was very helpful.
Here it is:
Character Sheet PDF.
Both look great!
With Recruitment ending on Friday, I'll be taking some time the next couple of days to review in more detail, so that there isn't a huge wait in between recruitment closing and the game beginning. If anyone still has questions / uncertainties, please do let me know. And for anyone that has dotted and not submitted, or who hasn't done either, there are still a couple of days to get something in!
We'll have a couple of questions to work out most likely this weekend (things like, you know, what model ship y'all might have) and then we'll be looking to start the game fresh on Monday.
Yeah i´m working out last details for my submission and posting soonish.
You've got time, Hayato. :)
--
I am noticing that a few submissions contain crunch but not any backstory! Please be aware that I will not be considering these submissions when it comes time to do final evaluations and pick the players. I'm far more interested in who your character is than how many points they have in the Pilot skill.
You've still got time to get something in there, so please type something up if you haven't yet.
Will do so asap
10min background will be done tonight
Tarkazza
A wookie. Large. Furry. Loud. But he isnt the average Wookie. He is...was… a commander of forces. Till the Empire completely ruined everything. He is the last of his unit. Lone survivor. It still haunts him. But he has to keep an even face. He still owes a great debt to those who helped him get out of Empire controlled space. Outer Rim, where he is now. Looking for work. At least with his experience as an officer and his use of his bowcaster. He often gets work as a gun for hire. Not the most luxurious job in the galaxy. But it keeps him fed. And his equipment in some form of workable condition.
I haven't been able to complete a submission yet, so I'm going to have to drop out. I hope you have a great game!
Here´s my submission with story included: Yukie Anchal
Edit: Now?
@Patrik - Sorry to hear. Perhaps next time!
@Hayato that doesn't seem to be a working link.
@Everyone: I'll probably wrap about noon EST tomorrow (~16 hours from now), and plan to announce the players in the evening. If you're still working on something and want me to delay a couple hours, please do let me know.
Human Performer with a basic backstory i hope to expand during gameplay. Also have to read up a bit on a new book i got and the map from Force Awakening beginners box to fill in some names. Let me know if there´s something off or the story to small to read or anything really.
